Urea in skin care - Podiatrists Choice Callus Control Cream
After many late nights in the Myfootshop.com lab, we’re proud to announce the launch of our new urea skin cream, Podiatrists Choice Callus Control Cream. Podiatrists Choice Callus Control Cream is safe enough to use every day and tough enough to soften even the hardest of calluses. With the addition of tea tree oil and lavender extracts in our formula, Podiatrists Choice Callus Control Cream also acts as a potent antifungal.
Myfootshop.com’s line of natural skin care products is developed with sustainability in mind. Our goal is to save our customers money by buying a single product to treat multiple conditions. Our secondary goal is to decrease packaging and transportations costs.

<a href="/urea-callus-cream">Natural Urea Cream</a> was specifically developed by our team to soften skin but also to 'chemically' debride thick, tough skin like <a href="/cracked-heels">cracked heels.</a> Although Natural Urea Cream is safe enough to use every day, I'd recommend you first start with <a href="/antifungal-healing-foot-cream">Antifungal Healing Cream.</a> Antifungal Healing Cream is our best selling skin cream. Don't be mislead by the name because in addition to the antifungal properties, Antifungal Healing Cream is also a skin softener and hydrating cream.<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
